OUR DEFENSLESS BORDERS.
An Army Officers VieXvs-Canada Ou
Most Vulnerable Point.

81 see that a naval officer predicts the immedia-
ate destruction of Washington In case Of a war
with Great Britain" said army officer to-day to
STAR reporter. "UndOubtedly the capital and
all our coast ports would be at the mercy of the
enemy in such an event." he continued "but that
isn't where England would strike us first. She
would choose our weakest points, perhaps not the
weakest, for all our points equally defenseess
but the most accessible. The Canadian border is
the part OF the country that needs looking after In
case OF war, for can see with half an eve where
the first blow would be struck. The big cities on
Inc lakes would first receive their attention. for
there Is nothing to prevent English gun boats
from swarm1ng through Lake Ontario and effect
ing complete disaster and ruin. According to the
treaty OF 1917, each country is allowed but one
vessel on Lake ontario, and we have only the
harmless old Michigan in that vicinity. The Brit
Ism nave none, but they have complete control OF
the navigation OF the st. Lawrence at least as far
as Kingston, and they possess just one hundred
and eleven gun boats that can navigate it. The
ST. Lawrence and the Weland canal afford ample
opportunity for reaching the lakes. To be sure
there are numerous rapids in the ST. Lawrence
building canals around these rapids, SO that to-
day vessel drawing IL feet can pass through, and
by the opening of navigation this Will be increased
10 IA feet. Forty-eight hours after the declara-
tiOn OF war it would be too late for us to make a
move the big British ironclads would take pos

they have Ill that could get there. Don't you

of necessity? When the fisheries troubles first
arose SIX OF these vessels were ordered up to New
brunswick. The reason assigned was a needed
change OF climate for the squadron, but upon look
ing through the register | learned that five Of
these vessels were OF the proper draught to
Navigate the st. Lawrence. We can't do anything
to afford us protection without money. We might
be able TO get vessels to the lake by way OF the
Mississippi and Illinois rivers, il we had canal OF
the requisite depth from La Sale to Chicago. or
we might get there II the Erie canal should be
made navigable. But there are always IFS in the
way, and these the British would not have to con-
tend with. Everything Is in readiness for them to
go right to work effectively"
